There's no substitute for experience.
Our techniques and craftsmanship have been honed over many years of working in the high-end stone and construction trades. For every project, keen attention is given to every single parameter that determines the final appearance: design, materials, templating, cutting, polishing, adhesives, seams, corners, and installation.
Project Process
1. Design
Every project of ours starts with a good, aesthetic design. We listen to the desires of our customers and ideate around that vision. This is a long step, as the only way to achieve good design is with a lot of thought, focus, and patience. We make many types of stone creations, and there are many choices to be made for each type of project. Kitchens and bathrooms must be compatible with appliances, stovetops, plumbing, and the choice of sinks and faucets should complement the stone. The stone should complement the interior space it lays in and be consistent with the principles of architecture of the building and area. Cabinet materials, wall color, tiles, and all other features of the space should be considered along with the stone for a harmonious, well-planned look. A particular slab of material may be chosen for its unique veining and movement. We have various finishes and edges available at our showroom for viewing and feeling.
2. Order and Templating
Once a design has been reached, measuring and templating occurs. During these steps, all work is repeatedly checked and performed to tight tolerances to make any final seams minimal. Our innovative seaming techniques often leave almost no visible marks to our clients' delight and surprise.
3. Fabrication
Our shop is filled with the latest professional equipment and machinery, enabling us to cut cleanly to microscopic tolerances. We meticulously check the template against the slab during cutting and polishing for a perfect fit. Every year we attend multiple domestic and international marble and granite conferences and trade shows to stay up to date on the latest technology in the industry.
4. Installation
A proper installation begins with a thorough understanding of the construction of the area and how to interface with it securely and aesthetically. We are equipped to move very large slabs through narrow passages in your home without leaving a scratch. Every home or business is treated as our own, and we take pride in adding value to the areas we're invited. For some materials such as granite a sealant is applied, and once dry is then ready for a lifetime of carefree use. After installation, thorough final inspection is performed and if you're not satisfied, neither are we. The area is then cleaned and checked to be free of debris. A one year installation warranty is in effect, and various synthetic materials have differing manufacturer's warranties as well.
